As Christmas roles in my “candy” themed Christmas tree begins to crowd with ornaments. For us its tradition to get ornaments for everyone in the family. This task is much more difficult than just picking up a few balls at Wal-Mart. The ornament has to be meaningful, or remind you of that person, to show that you were thinking of them. For this reason, my first pace to shop is always Hallmark. With their walls orderly filled with all different ornaments its easy to find the perfect one. Movie themes are a big hit. It seems like every year there is a “Christmas Story” ornament in the mix. So if it’s the “Baby’s first Christmas” or if your like me and your Christmas has a sweet tooth you can always find your preference here.
I don’t think there is anywhere else that is a better shopping spot for Christmas presents for Grandparents. What do grandparents love more that pictures of their grandchildren? Or a beautiful nativity scene for the living room, and not to mention the singing booty shaking Santa that we all love. Also for those friends that you see only every once in a while, and your not sure if you should send them something or not, get them an unforgettable card from the well known, large card selection.
For the men in your family you can stuff their stocking full of school spirit. Hallmark offers a large selection items to show off your favorite college school spirit. See your husband get excited about his stocking this year!
Hallmark has what you need to throw a perfect birthday party. Now available you can order personalized plates. You can personalize with words or pictures. There is all different themes that you can use, Disney Princesses, Cars, Cowboys, First birthdays, and so much more. Also you can do personalized plates and cups for weddings. Check out their website for more information on this new product.
There are two Hallmark stores in Tyler, both are full of cards and all you need for the perfect holiday!
TJC Cleaning Up Campus
August 3rd, 2010For those who go to TJC like my wife you may have noticed over the last many years a lot of ghetto hollering player wannabe’s on campus harrasing women as they walk to their cars.
This will all change this Fall semester as all students and faculty must where ID tags on a necklace around their necks. I for one am very happy about this change. Anyone having been at TJC for the last few years is probably happy as well.
Let me tell you a little story about why we are so happy about this new development for those who don’t like ID necklaces.
I have seen it many times before but just wrote it off as young punk kids and went on to class. It wasn’t as bad when I went to school at TJC but in the last couple of years it was getting down right ridiculous.
I interviewed a couple different groups walking around on campus in the past and asked them “what’s up?” and so forth like I am another typical punk wondering around looking for some booty.
Both times they told me they didn’t go to school there but were just chillin’ and so forth trying to look fly and other nonsense. So I got the picture that TJC had become a better Wal-Mart type of hook up location where gangsters can meet slutty women they can take back to their crib and maybe get them hooked on some crack.
TJC had truly become an undesirable place for me the more obnoxious these player types began to be. It got really bad to the point that everytime I would walk to my car to go home after class I would see atleast two gangster looking dudes with some big fat gold chains and stuff asking for women’s numbers as they went to their cars.
My wife would get these guys doing the same stuff to her when she would leave for class at night.
She started interviewing teachers and students and many of them would tell her the same thing and that they felt unsafe leaving class to get into their vehicles at night.
TJC had become a hang out spot for drug dealers and player pimp types.
Thank goodness TJC has implemented a new policy that requires all students and faculty to wear a student ID necklace around their neck to indicate their status.
This ID requirement could not be more needed than it is now. TJC was becoming a criminal hang out for awhile there.
I personally know of a family member we are not real happy with who married one of these pimp player drug dealer people that were not students of TJC.
They met out at the parking lot probably as he was yelling, “Hey girl can I have yo number!” and she actually responded well to this?
They got married and now this guy is in jail for felony robbery and drug dealing.
TJC thank you for doing something truly beneficial after so many years of security guards only being good at issuing parking tickets.
